Текст песни Валерий Леонтьев - Канатный плясун

He was agile, strong and funny -
Acrobat and rope dancer.
And all his life he walked the tightrope
Holding a long staff in suspension.
Putting the chair on a thin rope,
He sat down and drank sweet tea.
And the crowd began to moan
If you accidentally dropped the cup.

Chorus:
The stubborn crowd is watching and waiting:
"Laugh, dance, take risks!"
The stubborn crowd is watching and waiting
For the dancer to fall ...

The spectators waited, the spirit lost,
And he only laughed in response:
"You are just like me -
All are walking along the tightrope!
Only the courage is lacking
To open my eyes for a second
After all, you can only go forward
And left and right is no longer possible. "

Chorus.

He should have fallen sometime
So that onlookers do not disappoint.
He fell and the crowd roared
But the crowd was hardly surprised.
We stood still, discussing
Finished dancer
And then we slowly went
Back to your daily business.

Chorus.

He was agile, strong and funny ...
The spectators were waiting, the spirit lost ...
He was agile, strong and funny ...
He should have fallen sometime ...
